+For the above steps to get working, compile the kernels separately with the following configurations(in the menuconfig):

+- One with `UIO_IVSHMEM`(for backend) and,
+- another with `VIRTIO_IVSHMEM`(for frontend).
+
+For the frontend kernel you can also use the minimal Configurations present [here](https://github.com/siemens/jailhouse-images/blob/master/recipes-kernel/linux/files/amd64_defconfig_5.10). You can also build this kernel externally and copy the kernel-image later in the target image.
